Transmogrify is an important anthology to come out at such a political hell-scape right now, especially for trans people and people of color. As a trans man coming into his identity for the first time, fighting labels and doing inner-work to find myself even having to start at the bottom...

There were fourteen wonderful stories to share, centered around magic, fantasy, the things uncharted and untouched. There's a balance of shaping the world in a way that fits us better rather than suffering by forcing ourselves into a mold, and shaping the way we exist to alter the world we live in.

Trans love and trans pain and queerness is essential to being human. I believe that labels can comfort someone, but on the other side labels can be harmful if forced onto people. In these stories, full of pride, righteous anger, hope are the themes that we latch onto. Each story was unique, and I poured myself all over the stories to soak in what is oxygen to us.

I was a bit surprised to realize within a couple stories that most of these stories revolve around recreating the magic world, system and story surrounding the controversial, now infamous series Harry Potter. While I think it's wonderful to take something so dear to adults who grew up with the series, and to those of youth coming into it and wanting to reclaim it for themselves.. I felt it was a bit inappropriate to do so when antisemitism is still deeply rooted in the system. We can reclaim our transness, this magic, but others harmed in the process cannot be forgotten, especially when their heritage is a reminder of what our current future might be leaning towards.

I appreciate a lot of what the authors have done with these, atmospheric prose and thrill rides created a rush of adrenaline and exhilaration that felt as euphoric as coming into oneself for the first time. These stories are no doubt important, though I do question the content of a few of them, and how sensitivity reading should be addressed before publication,

This title will upset some rural communities and I cannot wait. It is fantastical in all the best ways and I cannot wait to see more of it. I definitely will be recommending this to some of the LGBTQ kids at my library.

I absolutely adored this book! I also really love the cover! This book has so much trans joy and triumph and revenge and it's fantastic and being able to read story after story where our trans protagonists were always able to succeed and be happy was amazing! Plus there was even more diversity outside of a character's gender identity.

Some of the stories were definitely stronger than others, but overall I think this is very worth the read. Even more so if you're looking for an uplifting read with all of the transphobia that's so prevalent in society right now.

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!

Anthologies are always a grab bag, which is part of their charm. This anthology involved a variety of types of magic, but starts with several magic school ones, which I'm totally on board for. They also feature a variety of main characters that experience transness in different ways, including multiple ways of being nonbinary (because being nonbinary is not just the Third Gender Option, there are infinite ways of existing outside the binary).

That being said, I found most of these stories to just be okay. Usually, in anthologies, I have a variety of ratings for the stories, but for this one, I rated most (if not all) somewhere in the range of 3 to 4 stars. That being said, I would still recommend this to the young reader!

Also, I still had some favorites that I want to highlight. "Dragons Name Themselves" by AR Capetra and Cory McCarthy was my favorite of the magical school stories, with a fun plot and cool framing device. "The Hallow King" by Jonathan Lenore Kastin had great Halloween atmosphere! "If I can't have love, I want power" by g. haron-davis had one pf my favorite protagonists!

Overall, I would recommend this anthology! It didn't 'wow' me, but it was a good time, and I love knowing that this book is out there in the world for teens to read!

This was a really great short story anthology. As with most anthologies there were some stories that I loved more than others, but this was really great overall.

Origin Story by Saundra Mitchell (she/they) – 5 Stars

Rae was recently kicked out of magic school and shipped back home. Happy to be back home with friends, but still depressed about having been sent home in disgrace, Rae is struggling with what their new place is in their world. Then they meet Sang Kim at a drive-in movie theater and things become clearer.

I am ready for the rest of this book please. I loved the characters, the set up, the…everything. Please Saundra Mitchell, I want some more. I am also already shipping Rae and Sang, so… there’s that too. I’m sold.

Halloween Love by Sonora Reyes (they/them) – 4 Stars

Zosia isn’t fitting in well at her new school until she meets Tierra. There is something similar and different about the two of them. Z comes from the world of witches, but has just moved to Arizona. On Valentine’s Day, a holiday that she doesn’t celebrate, her magic appears. But that’s not the only exciting thing that will happen to her.

I liked this pretty well. Not as well as the first one, but it was well written and the characters were likable, it just didn’t feel as well-developed as the first. However, I think I’ll be keeping an eye on this author.

Verity by Renée Reynolds (they/them) – 4 Stars

Ari Bellweather, a student at Humperdink’s School of Magical Mastery, finds a magic mirror that only shows people their inner truth. Will Ari be brave enough to look?

I enjoyed this quite a bit. It maybe is a softer story when compared to the first two, but I still really liked it. I think cute is the word I want to use. I like the messaging about inner truth and accepting who you really are.

Dragons Name Themselves by A. R. Capetta (they/them) and Cory McCarthy (he/they) – 5 Stars

A sentient magical school decides to bring its two favorite students together via dragon egg.

This was cuter than I though it was going to be. I have low expectations because of my first experience with this duo, but I have picked out individual books to try by the pair. The couple in this was super cute and I liked the course it took.

High Tide by Francesca Tacchi (xe/xir) – 4 Stars

Ciano has the skills to be a sailor, but the Elders won’t let them participate in the regatta because girls are Navigators and boys are Rowers and Ciano is… well capable of both. Ciano goes seeking the goddess for her blessing to join the regatta based on a loophole. Elders be damned.

This was cute. I liked the “Italian” setting and the descriptions. The magic and the world-building seemed fun. Fairly enjoyable.

In a Name by Ayida Shonibar (she/they) – 3 Stars

A disciple of a magic school decides to go looking for their friend when they disappear.

This was fine. It wasn’t the most interesting story to me, but I think it had some good themes. Names have a power to them and this story goes to highlight that. Maybe I’ll like their story in Night of the Living Queers more.

Bite the Hand by Nik Traxler (they/them) and Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloys (they/them + he/him)- 1 Star

Julien is raised to hunt the Wantings…and I didn’t read all of this so you’re going to have to if you want to know what else it was about.

This did nothing for me in terms of writing style or story, but I have seen other reviews that say that this was a highlight for them so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power by G. Haron-Davis (they/them) – 3 Stars

Mars is looking for a ditch witch to help them solve all their problems. However, things don’t go exactly to plan.

This was fine. The learning moment was thwarted with the help of a side character, but sure. It was fine. I found the world interesting and the characters were fine. It didn’t give me enough to have a real solid opinion.

The Hallow King by Jonathan Lenore Kastin (he/they) – 5 Stars

Ronan uses an ancestors spell book to summon the Hallow King to exact some revenge on Halloween.

This was great. I loved it. I think that the themes were great, the pacing was excellent, and I can appreciate some revenge. The imagery was also creepy and I love the idea of the Hallow King. Now I am curious about the rest of Kastin’s books.

Genderella by Mason Deaver (they/them) – 4 Stars

Ella wants to go to prom with the girl that she has had a crush on for forever. However, her evil stepmother has other plans.

This was solid and interesting, however, I wish the magic was a bit more magical. I think that’s a personal problem though. I need to read another book by Mason Deaver, but I’m not sure what or when.

Seagulls and Other Birds of Prey by Ash Nouveau (they/them) – 3 Stars

Teenager wants to join a summer broomstick derby team, but they are rejected because they did not put their gender on their form. A plan to change the association rules forms.

I liked this well enough. The characters were interesting, but the plot was lacking in terms of intrigue for me. I knew what would happen, but it was fine.

Bend the Truth, Break It Too by Cam Montgomery (non-binary she/they) – 3 Stars

Ares starts to move on from a previous relationship with the help of a shape shifter.

I liked this well enough, but I don’t think that it is something that will stick with me long term. However, Montgomery continues to write cute things. Ares and shifter were fun together.

Well, we ended on a high note. This was a really enjoyable and quick read. Aryn and D.J. really need each other in these circumstances. I have enjoyed an Emery Lee in the past and I think that I’ll continue to enjoy their work.

Overall, I think that this is a pretty great collection. I think there is going to be a story in here that speaks to most fantasy readers. Many of them are lighter fantasy, but a few are darker. I generally prefer the dark stories in terms of tone, but I think the whole collection is pretty successful.

THE GREATS
Origin Story by Saundra Mitchell – this is hands-down the best story in the book, so I’m not surprised they decided to open with it! A ‘trailer trash’ enby kid has been kicked out of magic school, but their adventures aren’t over. Fierce, bold, bright, gorgeous. Daisy, the MC, is fucking epic, and the take on and description of magic was beautiful. I would happily devour a series of novels, or novellas, if Mitchell decided to expand Daisy’s story! 10/10

Bite the Hand by Nik Traxler–Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloyd – dreamy and surreal and gorgeous, like honey dripping from broken glass. It fit perfectly into its page count, but I would love to see it expanded a little into a novella. The way the blurred lines between gender echoed the blurry boundary between monster and not-monster??? *chef’s kiss* 10/10

If I can’t have love, I want power. by g. haron-davis – if this story were a person, I would dance with them and twirl them. I loved loved LOVED how haron-davis gave a middle finger to how magical-bargain stories usually go; I loved the healthy selfishness and the sharp edges and how much the MC deserves the magic they ask for. 10/10

Espjismos by Dove Salvatierra – slow and simmering, a tale of old fears and new loneliness and growing into hope. Also, very wonderful shapeshifters. 9/10

THE GOODS
High Tide by Francesca Tacchi – a very cool premise built around water magic in a kind of island nation, with a MC who has to get a goddess’ approval to be allowed to take part in their people’s strictly-gendered traditions. I think it would have done better as a novella, or ideally a full novel; it felt very rushed, and could have done with a bit more polishing, but I appreciated the unconventional love interest and an ending that went against expectations. 7/10

In a Name by Ayida Shonibar – another with an excellent premise, and possibly the best opening line in the book; On the eve of my seventeenth birthday, I prepare to earn the seventh–and final–letter of my name. Gender is determined by whether your chakras spin clockwise or counter-clockwise, and you earn a letter of your name for every chakra you learn to control. But what if you can’t, or don’t want to? 8/10

The Hallow King by Jonathan Lenore Kastin – a summon-a-monster revenge fantasy, wherein a young trans man sets the titular Hallow King on various transphobic assholes at his school. I liked it a lot, right up until the very wishy-washy ending. I felt particularly let down by the advice the MC’s witchy (and ghostly) ancestor had on dealing with transphobia. 7/10

Seagulls and Other Birds of Prey by Ash Nouveau – this was so cute!!! About a young witch whose passion is customising their broomstick, and just wants to be allowed to play in the local tournament. I’m a complete sucker for characters who have a hobby they’re passionate about, and I loved seeing them find a team of fellow misfits to play with. Absolutely nailed the tone it was going for. 8/10

THE OKAYS
Halloween Love by Sonora Reyes – very basic, really dull. A lovely opening where the MC and their mom are brushing the MC’s hair, looking for the coloured hairs that will announce what kind of magic the MC will have, but it got boring very quickly. An attempt is made at humour – the MC initially thinks the girl they’d like to date is also a witch – but it fell very flat. Meh. 5/5

Dragons Name Themselves by R. Capetta and Cory McCarthy – amazing concept (a sentient magic school! Narrating the story! And also shipping the students and helping them get together!) that flopped. You’re setting your story in a magic school, but a big part of the story is them doing The Baby Assignment? (Two students sharing an egg that they need to take care of like it’s a baby.) That was a huge let-down. I wish this had been a novel instead, with a less cringey voice for the school (it’s clearly supposed to be funny, but again, I did not find it so). 6/10

Genderella by Mason Deaver – very obvious, very simple, the magic felt shoe-horned in. I guess not actively bad, but pretty boring. 5/10

Bend the Truth, Break It Too by Cam Montgomery – this was trying too hard to be beautiful, and it ended up becoming confusing instead. I think a good editor would have encouraged Montgomery to streamline the premise a bit – couldn’t the jinn have been a simple curse or something instead? – or alternatively, this was too big a story to fit into a short story. It might have done a lot better as a novella. 5.5/10

THE AWFULS
Verity by Renée Reynolds – a magic mirror that shows the truth of the viewer is rediscovered after being cursed into darkness. Great concept, poor execution. Things happen randomly without explanation (how was the curse broken exactly??? Who knows) and I thought the pop-culture references felt very forced and out of place. Very lecture-y. Not impressed. 4/10

The Door to the Other Side by Emery Lee – a pretty interesting premise – a family that are the guardians of The Door, which is literally the door spirits pass through to reach wherever the door thinks they should go – that needed to be a novella or better yet, a full novel. That would have given all the elements space to breathe. As it was, there was too much info-dumping and hand-waving (it’s never a good sign when the narrator goes ‘oh, why is this makes-no-sense thing like this??? Just because!’ I paraphrase, but only a little.) The big reveal at the end made no sense and didn’t seem to actually mean anything – it wasn’t nearly as life-changing as it was trying to be. 4/10

A NOTE OVERALL
One thing that didn’t help was that by the end of the book, I’d been lectured on the same topics half a dozen times, which was both boring and frustrating. I think Davis should have decided which stories did the lecturing best, then edited it out of the others, because it made the later stories seem worse for ‘repeating’ the same lectures – except they weren’t repeating, because each story was written separately, in isolation from the rest, by different authors. And yet the effect on the reader is getting the same lecture over and over. And not particularly gracefully, in most instances.

IN CONCLUSION
Ultimately, I do think the Greats are great enough to be worth the price of admission, and I suspect less obsessively picky readers than I will have a higher opinion than I did of some of the Okays. Plus, Transmogrify! makes no bones about being aimed at teenagers; it’s not intended for adult readers, and although we can enjoy it, I think a lot of what I didn’t enjoy is what will make sure this book does click with younger readers. Which I can’t fault it for.

I think Transmogrify! is what it wanted to be, succeeds at doing what it set out to do, and kudos to the editor and writers for that. Enthusiastically recommended for readers of fantastical YA!

This book was such a delight to read. Every story brightened my day. This anthology includes a mixture of stories featuring unique folklore magical systems along with queer, inclusive takes on a certain magical school. There was only one story that in my opinion was as strong as the others, but it did not take away from the anthology's overall quality.



***Thank you to Netgalley and HarperTeen Publishing for an eARC in exchange for a review. ***

This collection was just okay. There were a few stories I really liked: Dragons Name Themselves, In a Name, and Espejismos stood out for different reasons, the first being a good take on a magical school format, the second having interesting but understandable worldbuilding that didn’t do too much, and the third being beautifully atmospheric and folkloric. However, a lot the the stories either had too much worldbuilding and left me confused or wanting more when they ended, or were a bit trite. The characters in each story seemed to face a lot of the same very stock evil transphobia or “only binary gender allowed” problems and it was quite simplistic, especially in stories like Genderella and Seagulls. I found it interesting that every author who contributed to this story appears to be non-binary; I was surprised there was no representation of binary trans authors, especially trans women, though there was a bit of trans woman representation in the stories themselves. I didn’t like how the final story The Door to the Other Side handled the topic of suicide and regret thereof; they kind of downplayed it and made it okay because the characters start to fall for each other. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

This was an amazing group of collaborators who produced an amazing set of stories. I really enjoyed reading about these diverse characters, and seeing the trans magic bloom. I hadn’t read some of these authors before, but I will definitely be reading them now! Overall this is a great anthology suitable for YA audiences. I will be getting this for my friend because I think she would love it.

This is an awesome anthology! It was such a fun read and it had a really wide range of stories! They were all well written and very different from each other. They are a really good mix so if you hate one you'll probably love the rest. Something that struck me was how many of these were filled with just joy. I loved it so much.

Origin Story by Saundra Mitchell: Good, not great. Love the diverse rep tho. Aroace, bi, enby rep

Halloween Love By Sonora Reyes: This was super cute. Queer enby mc, black transgirl li

Verity by Renee Reynolds: Cute about a sentient magic mirror and the trans folks that find themselves/ their truths in her

Dragons Name Themselves by R. Capetta and Rory Capetta: This was amazing. I absolutely loved it. By far the best one so far. It's set in this magic school but the school is the narrator and they bring these two students together. You have a not binary kid and a trans boy who end up doing a like parenting class with the Vibes of the flour baby but it's a dragon egg. Super super fucking cute.

High Tide by Francesca Tacchi: This one was cool! We love fighting stupid traditions and dumb old people while also having cool ass goddesses

In a Name by Ayida Shonibar: I really like the premise of this but I struggled with a few of the details and just figuring out what was magic and what wasn't. I also could have used maybe two or three extra pages at the end just to tie everything up nicely

Bite the Hand by Nik Traxler — Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloyd: This was my least favorite so far. I did not understand almost anything and I feel like it needed a lot more World building if it's going to try and introduce a complex idea without any background. Even a summary of The Curse idea would have been sufficient at the beginning. Give me a paragraph

If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power by g. haron-davis: I can't decide if the open ending on the short story is good or not. I like that you can just sit in your own idea of what's going to happen but if you like it could have used another 10 pages

The Hallow King by Jonathan Lenore Kastin: Be gay do crimes but haunted and on halloween. One trans boy summons the hallow king to get revenge on those who wronged him, but it doesnt go as planned

Genderella by Mason Deaver: it's no surprise that I really loved this one. We've got a trans girl lesbian Cinderella story. I mean what's not to love

Seagulls and Other Birds of Prey by Ash Nouveau: Why did this give quidditch vibes from Harry Potter? It wasn't bad but it was just which is flying on brooms in the style of roller derby. But basically got an all queer and trans team fighting for their spot on the roster

Bend the Truth, Break It Too by Cam Montgomery: I'm not entirely sure what I just read tbh

Espejismos by Dove Salvatierra: I liked this one quite a bit. Shapeshifting meets magic meets the end if the world on a ranch vibe

The Door to the Other Side by Emery Lee: this was quite good. CW: suicide

This is exactly what I had hoped it would be. To sum it up in three words? Delightful, heartwarming, magical. If ANY of these stories come out as a book on its own, I am going to devour it faster than a box of Mike & Ikes.

Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic is 14 tales of power, strength, courage, commitment, love, heartbreak, transphobia, really you name it and its in there. All encompassed by everything that is magic. As the first story ended without hesitation I dove into the second, and third, and before I knew it the book was done and I felt like I was at home again in the magical realm of books.

These stories of transgender and gender nonconforming people put into words the worlds that I had only ever wished for. Reading stories about people that feel like I do, like we just don’t have a place in the world, find their places and who they are in them, was something I never thought would be a reality. I know I keep talking about the existence of this book in general, but it’s exactly what I said in the beginning, exactly what I had hoped it would be.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for the ARC.

AH THIS BOOK THIS BOOK THIS BOOK!!!!!
If each of the stories in this book ever come out as full fledged novels, I would absolutely gobble them right up!!
Each of the stories, though short, managed to bring me so much joy and happiness. It was a great experience reading this book, I couldn't get enough!!
So of course, my only complaint is that these were short stories lol, other than that I had a great time!!
Read for:
- magic
- trans leads with magic
- fairy tales-esque stories
- great writing
and more!!
I highly, highly recommend and CWs for transphobia in some of the stories, read with care <3

3.5 stars

5+ stars for representation and fewer stars for stories that have the potential to be more engaging (as a package - some are standouts in both directions, as often happens in an anthology).

I am here for any and all trans and nonbinary representation, especially when it exists in the wonderful world of YA, and the contributors do bring in that piece quite successfully here. Also, I'm happy to see a growing group of short story collections for this audience. This is all much needed.

This all noted, the collection overall left me wanting a bit more from the stories themselves. Admittedly, fantasy is not my favorite subgenre, and I'm confident that folks who enjoy that more than I do will find these more compelling. Still, I just wanted a bit more from this group. I'll recommend this collection to students, but likely for the representation primarily.

This was an amazing book with so many great stories. There was a vast diversity of trans experiences and ranges of emotions, from fluffy and cute to dark and vengeful. Highly recommend this for any readers.

Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic is a wonderful anthology that celebrates the diversity of trans and gender nonconforming experiences through the lens of fantasy literature. The stories featured in this collection are truly unforgettable, taking readers on fourteen different adventures with a diverse cast of characters that embody a variety of gender expressions and experiences.

Each story in the collection is unique and thought-provoking, featuring magical elements that further explore the complexity of transness. From a world where gender can be changed like clothing, to a trans witch who saves her village from a dangerous curse, the stories in Transmogrify! are imaginative and captivating.

This anthology is an important addition to the literary world, as it claims a seat at the table for trans and gender nonconforming stories in the fantasy genre. It also provides a much-needed space for readers to see themselves represented in literature, and to explore the complexities of their own identities through fantastical storytelling.

Overall, Transmogrify! is a must-read for anyone interested in diverse fantasy literature, and a beautiful celebration of the diversity of trans and gender nonconforming experiences.

A much-needed anthology of 14 stories about magic trans and nb teens--teens who find their magic, are exiled for their magic, use their magic for good, use their magic for fun, find family magic, find chosen families, and more. I loved the various different settings and kinds of magic. A few other stories could have used some improvement, but overall, these are solid pieces of writing. That said, the last story--The Door to the Other Side by Emery Lee-- is problematic: a character who commits suicide says they regret doing so, but then, because of an attraction to another character, makes their regret conditional, saying that their choice was good in a way because they met the other character. So rating this is quite difficult. Kick out the final story and a few others that didn't work well--the Valentine's Day one in particular--and I'd give it 5 stars. But as it is, especially because of The Door to the Other Side, it gets 3.

Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot express how happy this book made me. Sure, like all short story collections, I liked some stories more than others. Some of the stories just weren’t really my cup of tea. But this isn’t just any short story collection– it’s a collection of all trans/nonbinary stories by trans/nonbinary authors. Nonbinary rep is becoming more common, but it’s still hard to come by sometimes, so reading so many stories with that representation made my heart so happy.

It’s difficult to really write a review of this collection, since there are 14 stories, so I’ll keep it brief. Each of these stories revolves around magic of some sort, so it was really interesting to read so many different takes on fantasy. Some of the stories centered on being trans/nonbinary, some were stories that just happened to feature trans/nonbinary characters.

Overall, I just really loved this. As a nonbinary person, this book meant a lot to me.

This is a delightful anthology! I loved the inclusivity, the fantasy, and the diversity of each story.

Like all anthologies, you love some, and you could leave some.

I loved The Hallow King and Bite the Hand the most, but overall this is a solid collection of trans fantasy!

A fantastic heart wrenching and heart warming collection that shows diversity and love.
My favorite stories in the collection included Halloween Love (I just wanted to hug these characters by Sonora Reyes), Verity by Renee Reynolds, In a Name by Ayida Shonibar, and If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power by G. Haron-Davis.
In the end, I wanted more. More stories, full length novels, from these worlds that captured my heart.
Highly recommend for all fans of fantasy and urban fantasy as well as those who know that Love is Love and Trans Rights are Human Rights.
